Here’s what we offer and how we help:

Roseville CA Large Group Health Insurance Plans

Large companies must offer health insurance for employees if the business has fifty or more full-time. The ACA requirements include coverage and affordability. To be “affordable,” the worker’s contribution to the monthly premium can’t be more than 9.61 percent of their income. Remember that limit only applies to individual employee coverage, without considering the cost for dependents. For example, suppose the worker’s pay is $50,000 annually. In that case, the affordability limit is $4,805 annually, so the premium is limited to a maximum of $400 a month.

The plan may also have a deductible and copayment (a fee each time the subscriber uses a service). Overall, it must be intended to pay 60 percent of the costs anticipated for services a typical subscriber would need. Finally, every insurance plan must include ten essential benefit areas:

1. Ambulatory patient services (outpatient care)
2. Emergency services
3. Hospitalization, including surgical and medical
4. Maternity and newborn care, including delivery
5. Mental health and substance use disorder services
6. Prescription drugs
7. Rehabilitative services and devices
8. Laboratory services
9. Preventative and wellness services, including chronic disease management
10. Pediatric services, including dental and vision care for children under the age of 19

Roseville CA Small Business Health Insurance Plans

Small companies (with less than fifty workers) don’t have to offer health insurance to their employees. However, the ACA created some options to help those companies that want to. First, they must comply with rules for small businesses. One requirement is minimum essential coverage, which is the same as the large companies must provide. The insurance must also be available for everyone in the company (not just managers or key staff). The ACA has tax credits for the smallest firms–with 25 or fewer workers. Still, the employer must subsidize half the premium cost for employees to receive those. Also, the employees must be at lower-than-average pay levels for the company to qualify for the credit.

Small business owners can find information and help from a broker like Taylor Benefits Insurance. Small business options are organized by tiers and identified by metal names to help indicate the value. For example, bronze plans have a lower monthly premium but higher costs for service. In contrast, a platinum level plan has the highest premium, but using it costs less. Silver and gold are in between.

Roseville CA Employee Benefit Plans and Employee Benefit Packages

While some workers may only consider the pay when comparing job offers, most also evaluate the value of the benefits package. MetLife’s 2022 Benefits Survey reported that 73 percent of employees say that a better choice of benefits would encourage them to remain at their current employer. Also, employees state that benefits choices reduce stress and improve their financial wellness. The survey also notes that employees who are happy with their benefits are more likely to say they are loyal to their company.
